when you say 'one point from safety' you mean they were in the relegation zone. With only 9 games to go. And if you extrapolate the points he took in those 9 games they would have finished midtable. Unluckily for him Sunderland put together a ridiculous run so what can you do.

You could say that Sizeable Samuel is a better manager for a start.
This is nonsense. He wasn't sacked from his last two jobs. Newcastle ere desperate to have him back. And before those two jobs it was trophies all the way.
you mean if they both put their medals on the table? yes you could say that, but you would look a little foolish
Newcastle fans want him back because guaranteed mid table is heaven for them, also he has ties to Liverpool who they look up to as older brothers.
since when has Benitez been about guaranteeing midtable? he wants to win

Get relegated, apparently
Since about 2013.
so when he took over Newcastle in the relegation zone with nine game to go you thought he should have been going for Europe? And were you wondering why he hadn't won the Champions league in the two years after that when he wasn't given any money?
No mate, where did I say I expected either of those things?
you said he was a midtable manager cos that's where he'd been since 2013. I was pointing out that it would have been virtually impossible for him to have risen higher than that when he took over at Newcastle, so it was an unfair criticism in view of the success he's had.

I'm liking the cut of your jib. Not blindly enraged by the fact an ex-red is managing us. Keep up the good fight

I have never said that Benitez is the most sought after manager in the world right now, but they would not have been relevant to us either. The latter also does not mean that they are the best managers either.
All I say is that Benitez is a manager who is extremely methodological, and where his teams are usually very well organized. Nor does it mean that he is guaranteed to succeed. There are many factors in football.
The rest is just a brief description of how he likes his teams to play. I also say I'm skeptical, and that means I'm not entirely thrilled with Benitez's appointment. But now he is employed, and for now I choose to let the doubt benefit him.
